Hapori Tohu Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 What is with LEGO and space, it's like the two go hand-in-hand. A little bit ago a couple teenagers sent a minifig into the stratosphere, and shortly thereafter a Romanian physicist <a href="http://www.spaceref.com/news/viewsr.html?pid=40138" target="offsite">sent a space shuttle set</a> up on a weather balloon. Please kids, don't do this at home - the last thing we need it LEGO bricks getting stuck in orbit and hitting our satellites or the ISS.

Taipu1 Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Why is everyone doing this send things into space on a balloon, and why are they all choosing Lego?Also why is James May the only person that I know of to film the balloon bursting when the pressure gets low enough. Thats the coolest bit. And that wasn't with Lego either, not that I have a problem with Lego. I just prefer Lego to be used, rather than sent hundreds of miles up.

Toa Smoke Monster Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 I wonder if there were any minifigs in that shuttle. Quote Everyone is one choice away from being the bad guy in another person's story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
